Alek appeared on the CBC Business show ‘The Lang & O’Leary Exchange’ to explain why Public Mobile wants the Federal Court of Canada to review the government’s decision to approve Globalive’s ownership structure.
In the interview Alek explains that Public Mobile is not looking to stop Globalive from operating, he simply wants the same rights when it comes to raising outside capital. This will provide benefits to consumers, allowing networks to expand faster and more competition in Canada.
Here’s the interview.

I guess you would like everyone to believe the government made new rules, but the fact of the matter is they didn’t. If you now feel the need to define control in fact… I guess you are entitled to do that, after the CRTC failed in it’s bid to define in for the benefit of the incumbents.
BTW will you be offering the iphone? Will you be blocking your ports for your data services? Are you even offering data?
I am disappointed at where you through your (currently still small) weight in the battle. The whole CRTC and the Canadian ownership rules are as much an anachronism as the collusion monopoly of the big three in the Canadian wireless markets.
Competition is good. Does not matter who bankrolls it.
The World Economic Forum’s Competitiveness Report still ranks Canada as a telecommunication hinterland. I can confirm: the service I get in Canada in 2010 is still inferior to what I got in Europe in 1999. And it is more expensive.
Move forward rather than looking backward. Advance rather than obstruct. Accept Wind as a dynamic and fair competitor and compete along them for our business rather than pathetically trying to follow in the steps of the old monopolists.
